Psychologists and educators generally agree that people learn best by experience which involves one's whole person in the activity or the material to be learned. This blog is dedicated to harnessing the power of psychologically-enhanced experience to show you how to change your life and get the things you want -- and how to keep others from preventing you from doing so!

Hypnotic Mistrsses, Goddesses, and Those who Worship Them

I recently ran across a video on YouTube by "Mistress Lisa," which has been viewed over one and one half million times:

If you watch the tape of Mistress Lisa carefully, within a fraction of a second after she completes her induction, you will catch her throwing her head back and with a momentary gleam of triumph on her eyes. There is trouble brewing in paradise! Although she herself does not appear to have followed up on it, there are many other postings of female hypnotists, hypnotic mistresses, goddesses, and seductresses, some of whom merely provide constructive suggestions of well-being, and some of whom seem to be seeking the worshipful adoration of male (and occasionally, female) worshippers who appear to be all too willing to turn their lives and worldly goods over to them.

These videos are obviously not illegal, and not very many people have complained about them, or YouTube would have closed them down years ago. In addition to YouTube, you can enter the words "mistress" or goddess" on Facebook, or at a Google prompt, and simply follow the links for an in-depth introduction to dozens, and possibly hundreds, of other mistresses and goddesses of varying methods and temperaments. However, I found only one Website, hypnoslave.com. devoted to the hypnotic enslavement of women. What are the psychological motives behind these practices? Are they ethical, are they dangerous, or merely harmless role playing? Do they benefit or damage their willing devotees, and if so, how? Some parents view their children not as individuals to be loved and encouraged to develop their own lives, but as extensions of themselves, whose purpose in life is to flatter the parents' ego. They selectively withdraw love until the child, desperate for affection and totally dependent on the rejecting parent, will do almost anything to get it (Forward, 1989). The parent or parents may also act seductively, and even sexually molest the child in order to gratify their own needs, because "babies don't tell."As adults, we often tend to re-create an approximation of the family environment in which we were raised. Is it any wonder, then, that some men long for a relationship with a woman whom they can worship as a goddess if this is the kind of mother they had, who is alternately seductive, punitive, and distant and rejecting?Why are there so many more men than women looking for this type of satisfaction? Although there are documented instances of famous seducers such as Rasputin, who have taken advantagr of women in repressed societies whose motives have been ambivalent because of cultural differences in the way men and women are raised in that society, if a woman wants to dedicate herself completely to a man who only occasionally shows any concern for her, she probably will have little trouble finding one.

"Applied Hypnosis and Hyperempiria"

In contrast to a traditional hypnotic induction, based on suggestions of drowsiness, lethargy, and sleep, a hyperempiric induction is based on suggestions of increased alertness, mind expansion, and enhanced awareness and sensitivity. Both approaches have been shown to work about equally well. Naturally, some people prefer one approach and some people prefer the other; and some procedures are better suited to hypnosis, while others are best done with hyperempiria. This book shows you how to use hypnosis and/or hyperempiria in a wide variety of situations and for a wide variety of purposes.

"Experience as an Art Form," by Don E. Gibbons, Ph.D.

From the first glow of anticipation to the enduring treasures of fondest memory, suggestion provides us with a brush with which it is possible to paint upon the canvas of our awareness virtually any masterpiece we may desire.

Experience as an Art Formshows you how to re-create many of the finest achievements of history, art, literature, and popular culture as if they are actually happening right now, and you are part of the action instead of part of the audience. The easily-learned techniques described in this volume will enaable you to can guide your partner through the experience of being Harry Potter jousting on his broom, or Indiana Jones in pursuit of hidden treasure, or Juliet on her balcony, or anything else he or she is able to imagine.

Announcing "Exploring Alternate Universes -- and Learning What They Can Teach Us"

We all long to return to the safety and security of a little infant tenderly nestled in its mothers arms. If the number of alternate universes is theoretically without limit, as many physicists now maintain, then there is -- somewhere -- an alternate universe where we can bathe in an ocean of infinite, unbounded, and everalasting love, freed from the limitations of time and space, to satisfy these deepest longings, enhance our self-esteenm and overcome all our feelings of unhappiness, loneliness, anger, and despair. Using their hypnotic imagination, people who respond well are now able to create such experiences with relative ease.

Clients have been saying things like, "I can't thank you enough," and, "I'm at a point in my life now where I feel like I can accomplish anything!" We invite you now to joinus in exploring these fascinating new dimensions of experience, and in sharing with us the thrill of discovery!
